Default Need help! August in Miami with no A/C is killer.

I have an 02 monte carlo ss. I recently replaced the radiator fans. When I got the car put back together, the fans were not kicking on. At one point, I tested the connector at the fan motor and was getting plenty of power to the fan motor. However, I am now getting no power to the motors. I have checked the fuses and the relays and both seem to be fine. I do not know where to go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Rechecked the wiring? Made sure the grounds & everything were good?

How is the ground point for the cooling fan system (G108) which is located at the left side of the radiator support? I found this wiring diagram, it might be of some help to you.Ybof53d.png

Thanks for the help guys I will try a few things. I haven't been able to locate the ground. When it says left side of radiator support is that the driver's side or passenger's side? Any idea what it looks like?

Left would be driver side. You could also just continuity check the black wire off of fan motor #2 to ground.

How would I do a continuity check? I have a multimeter but don't really know how to use it. Thanks.

Some meters have a specific continuity setting which beeps when there's 0 ohms resistance between the two leads. Otherwise just use the resistance setting and see if you get 0 Ohms between the black wire off of fan 2 and a ground point of the vehicle.
